Story: 5 out of 5 Smut: 0 out of 5

Wow!

You know how sequels are usually dreaded because they never live up to the first? Well let me just say that this book did! Hell, it might even be better than the first!

I love how you get the story told from Millie’s POV in part one, and then in part two you get to hear from the housewife she’s trying to help before going back to Millie.

This book is wonderfully written and these twists are amazing. I didn’t think I would be surprised after book one, but I’m happy to say that I was!

I don’t know how I’m gonna wait half a year for the next installment. I need to see how Millie handles helping out the wives after what Wendy put her through.

Now here are my ramblings thoughts…

* “Tonight, I will be murdered.” // “It all started with a simple cleaning job. And now it might end with my blood being mopped off the cabin floor.”

* Amber is such a bitch. I’m glad her baby called Millie ‘mama’ lmao. She’s totally fired tho 😂

* Who tf is stalking Millie?

* Aww. Her and Enzo actually had a relationship before her move to New York! I’m so sad it didn’t work out.

* So Xavier is the creepy neighbor who knows Millie’s name even though she never told him.. 🤔 Suspicious. Very suspicious.

* Okay, I’m officially annoyed as fuck by Millie. Girl, it’s none of your damn business what goes on between a man and wife. Get in, do your job, and get out. Don’t ask questions.

* Knew Xavier was a creep.

* How convenient that the cops found a shit load of drugs in Xavier’s apartment. I have a feeling whoever is driving this black car with a cracked headlight did Millie a favor. IS IT ENZO?!

* Oh shit. Did Douglas beat the shit out of his wife..?

* How the fuck did Douglas even know about Millie if her housekeeping ad never went live…?!

* A friend gave WENDY her number?! Wendy totally knows Millie can help. Or not, if this mysterious friend didn’t tell her exactly how Millie can help.

* Ahh. Okay. So it was a previous client that helped her get away from her abusive husband. So that’s why Wendy had her called in.

* Okay, so… Wendy have Millie a very expensive bracelet to pawn because she hates it. And Millie dumbly took it, and kept it. Now Wendy SUDDENLY has this grand plan to escape her abusive husband. This feels icky. I’m starting to think the situation is not as it seems 🤔

* I do not like Brock and his urgency to settle down. I really miss Enzo lol.

* IT’S ENZO! I FUCKING KNEW IT! Oh my god, I’m so happy 😭

* You’re so fucking stupid! Why would you tell Enzo to stop watching out for you!? Oh my god 🤦🏻‍♀️ Now I want Douglas to kick your ass.

* Wendy’s back? She was a little too quickly, no? 🤔

* Did you seriously just shoot him?! Now your fingerprints are all over that gun. You’re so stupid, Millie!

* What the fuck!!!! Lmao. I knew that Wendy bitch couldn’t be trusted. Wtf!!!

* The man Millie shot isn’t Douglas?? I’m so fucking confused. And I knew Brock was a pussy! She needs to call Enzo asap.

* Soooo, Wendy’s a cunt. I don’t even wanna hear her side of the story lol. How dare she set up Millie like that.

* Douglas was a hopeless nerd? And a shit ton of money at his disposal?! And Wendy hated that!? Wtf. That’s the perfect man 🤦🏻‍♀️

* Wow. Wendy. You’re such a hoe.

* Holy shit. Douglas knew about the affair 😂

* Fuck! That wasn’t Douglas choking Wendy out, it was her affair partner Russell! And Millie shot him with blanks!!! Holy fuck.

* That really murdered her husband. What a cunt.

* He cut her out of the will!!!! Lmfao. She murdered him for nothing 😂

* Marybeth?! Russell’s wife!!! Lol. Oh I love this.

* Goddamn. It was Millie all along 😨

Book Review: The housemaid is Watching

The Housemaid is Watching- by Freida McFadden

This review will be spoiler free and is divided into sections of overall storytelling, my thoughts, and do I recommend it?

Storytelling

The book starts off with a timeskip of 12 years, the protagonist Millie is now a mother of two kids and she moves into her dream home which was priced suspiciously low. Everything seems to be going great for her, a loving husband, beautiful children and a 'normal life' which she longed for all her life. The neighbours however, are far from normal. A flashy, overly-flirty real estate agent and an obnoxious old woman who keeps her son on a leash and has a peeping habit. Millie gets caught up in their shenanigans when the entire story takes a dark turn and someone is murdered and the culprit might be too close to home.

My thoughts

Now I know the description sounds promising but trust me, the book was not good. The previous two books of the series were great, and slightly worse respectively but this one, geez. I will not miss the first three quarters of the book and the last quarter is something I want to forget about. 

It starts off with the daily activities of Millie's family making choco-chip pancakes and the kids missing school. Fine. It was then led by more choco-chip pancakes and baseball practice. Then starts the unnecessary drama about infidelity and insecurity. WHY. Whatever happened to gripping plots and suspense. 

Now I will give credit where it's due, the saving grace was the murder angle and the investigation which I found interesting. However it does not last very long as the revelation is just bleh. Not even bad but infact lame. I had really high hopes from this book as Freida Mcfadden has shown excellent work with the previous two books but this one does not live upto the expectations. 

Do I recommend it?

No, I know it must be very tempting to pick this up especially after the cliffhanger of the previous one but there's nothing about this book which makes me want to recommend it. Read my next blog on review of  "The Silent Patient".

PS: I would suggest the readers to not engage in hate towards the authors, this is just a piece of fiction and should not harbor any negativity for real people.

Looking for logic (in The Housemaid by Freida McFadden)

TL;DR: good premise, story was dragged out, the writing was good, plot twists truly came out of the blue. | 3/5 stars | The Housemaid is a story surrounding three main characters: Millie (the Housemaid™), the Wife Nina, and the Husband Andrew. Millie was living out of her car with barely any food eat, when she’s offered the job to be a live-in housekeeper at the rich Winchesters. At first…

Review:

⚠️spoilers⚠️

I’m noticing that Freida McFadden books are pretty predictable, however, her stories still manage to be entertaining and enjoyable. Her writing is very easy to read and keeps you hooked. This book is the first where I really came around to like a character. Other books I’ve read by her, I’ve hated the main character but I really liked Millie and by the end I loved Nina. I was onto Andrew from the very beginning. No privileged, rich business man is that nice. Nina’s story was a little heavy but I love that she got justice and was able to live freely with Cece. And my all time favorite character was Enzo. The way he looked out for Nina, Cece, and Millie while being clever enough to stay under the radar. Even though I predicted the twists, I think this is my favorite Freida book so far.

Okay, let's talk about the book the housemaid by Freida Mcfadden.

Story: 5 out 5 Smut: 0 out of 5

Wow. What the hell did I just read?!

One moment I think I have things figured out, then the next I’m questioning what I think I know. And then I’m back to thinking I was right in the first place, and oh my god!

This book is amazing. I loved it.

At first I didn’t wanna continue reading because Nina Winchester rubbed me the wrong way, but then when I picked up the book for the second time, the suspense had me in a chokehold and I read 200+ pages in one sitting.

If you love suspense and questioning what you think you know, then pick up this book asap. You won’t regret it.

Now here are my rambling thoughts:

* “If I leave this house, it will be in handcuffs. I should have run for it while I had the chance. Now my shot is gone. Now that the police officers are in the house and they’ve discovered what’s upstairs, there’s no turning back.”

* Oohhhhh, I’m intrigued. What’s upstairs?

* So the landscaper is… weird. Was he trying to warn her?

* Wtf is on Millie’s record that’s preventing her from being hired anywhere 🤔

* Prison?! Ooohh, girl. What did you do?

* Landscaper is definitely trying to warn her. What is going on in the Winchester house?

* Yeah… Nina is cuckoo. Get out of there, Millie!

* The daughter Cecelia is a little twat.

* What the fuck is Nina’s problem? I really hope it’s her body they find that was in the prologue. Fuck this bitch.

* Woo. Nina is pissing me the fuck off.

* Those PTA moms are a bunch of backstabbing bitches. But at least we know that Nina truly is crazy.

* Goddamn. She tried to kill her own daughter?!

* Okay, on a side note, is Nina really crazy? Everyone says there’s twists in this story so now I’m thinking the husband is just too good to be true. If he’s the one with the money and has a prenup, then why is he putting up with Nina’s bat shit crazy antics? What’s it in for him to keep that relationship going? If anything, it’s Nina who would be doing everything to please her husband, but it’s the husband trying to please her? Wtf is going on?

* So no baby for Nina. Isn’t that a good thing?

* Uh oh. There was a zing between Millie and Andrew. They’re definitely gonna bone lol.

* They’re drunk and kissing 🤦🏻‍♀️ Nina’s gonna have a shit fit when she finds out because let’s be real… SHE WILL!

* Called it. Nina totally knows 😂 And she just outed Millie as being an ex-convict. I was originally rooting for Millie, but you don’t sleep with married men. Smh. And Andrew is rubbing me the wrong way now.

* Oh shit. Andrew kicked Nina out 😨 He wants a divorce! Things are about to get way ugly.

* Lmao. Who the fuck is Enzo and what does he know!?!

* Damn. He fucked her in the attic and then what.. locked her in..?

* Wait… Nina’s happy to have gotten rid of Andrew? IS ANDREW THE BAD GUY?!

* Holy. Fuck. He locked Nina in the attic when they were first married. ANDREW IS THE BAD GUY!!! But why the fuck was Nina such a bitch to Millie after hiring her? I’m so confused.

* Ohhhhh. And now it all makes sense. I can’t believe Enzo was in on it. At least he wants to help Millie now, but fuck… they shouldn’t have done that to her to begin with.

* Holy shit! Nina is way fucking smarter than I gave her credit for.

* Fuckkkkk. Nina took the fall.

* The detective!!! Oh my god!!

* Goddamn. Andrew’s mom is the true psycho 😬

* Fuckkkk. She took on another job with a housewife being abused. Nina recommended her to the new client. She’s the housemaid assassin lol. Wtf!!!!

Book review: The housemaid's secret

 The Housemaid's Secret- by Freida McFadden

This review will be spoiler free and is divided into sections of overall storytelling, my thoughts, and do I recommend it?

Storytelling

The book starts with the POV of someone who is about to get murdered which did garner my attention. It is followed by a description of a mundane job with a family which felt like a totally unnecessary filler. After that starts the actual storyline where Millie, our protagonist from the previous book is now working with another family as a housemaid where the wife suspiciously remains mostly sick and locked in her room. The constant clues she finds in the house which suggests something sinister is happening behind closed doors fiddles with your imagination.  It starts off very promising and makes you want to read more. It did have unnecessary romance, the majority of which contributes nothing to the story. Some characters felt out of  place but the overall experience makes up for it.

My thoughts

A true-crime episode is what I would call it. The build up is absolutely amazing with good pacing and variation, it gets your hopes high. The odd things Millie notices in the house, a black mazda following her, the disturbing dynamic of the family, sets the atmosphere.

However, the revelation is a big turn-off. It looks like a youtube episode of a crime show we have watched over and over again, typical. But luckily the last part was the saving grace for me. It was intense and filled with "what's next" moments. Some scenes involving the police and the investigation felt very interesting to read. Overall, I think it did keep up with the legacy of "The housemaid"  because some scenes left a profound impact which mostly overshadowed the lack of depth in the plot. Before ending the book the author leaves a question in our minds as food for thought which leads to nowhere as seen in the sequel.

Do I recommend it?

If you have nothing better to do and have a day's worth of time then yes you should read this. If you do, I would suggest skipping most of the monologues and unnecessary relationship drama and focus on the overall story. Read my next blog for review of the sequel "The housemaid is watching".
